Not a Robot

I can't to see what's in the puppy doll.

I watched 2 episodes and I didn't bring up ways to punish the production, even though in my opinion, turning a romance into a bromance is censorship to meet the law. You explained the reasons why well, and I understand, but I never blamed the production or the actions. Thanks for making. yourself clear though (not sarcasm).

This show makes me laugh too. Akira is such an idiot at times, but Shin just loves him, flaws and all. People do not get the tsundere trope. This is Akira and Shin's life for the next 50 years.

The government caused the cancellation of Addiction Part 2, that's just a fact.
I'm did not say to punish any of the current production crew, nor am I angry. This is a show, not my life and I have a different opinion. It is a cash grab though because this series was one of the most popular BL shows out there, and fans have wanted to see part 2 for years. I am saying this iteration does not resonate with me. I did not blame the actors, in fact I wished the actors success. It's interesting that you think you are entitled to read minds and put words in people's mouths. I did not say people should be punished or downvoted, you did. I get that you love this series, but you don't have to make things up and state people suggested things they never suggested. I'm glad that you love the show, but this show would not be so different if not for government interference. I will not respond to more whataboutisms. Have a nice day.

I know that fans translated 2 volumes of this story. Vol 1 is how they meet and fall in love as students, Vol 2 is their lives as working adults. Maybe that's what the chatter is about. I'm not sure. Thanks for letting me know what's going on.

What happened this afternoon? I don't have any social accounts.

I've watched two episodes and even with a higher budget, it just doesn't have the spark of the original. The original was watered down from the book due to the violence and sexual content, but to water it down to a bromance, I'm not sure if I can make it through 24 episodes. I keep thinking of the original actors who were banned from appearing with each other again, just because they made the Addicted series. Maybe I just can't get over the hurdle of how the actors where punished, then the same country releases the officially sanctioned story, politically corrected. There is usually so much social grandstanding on MDL, but when I see this rated at 8.4, I am shocked that people are so forgiving the suppression of the real story, but lose it over a drunken kiss. That is the difference between systemic oppression and a dubcon trope. China was the BL leader before the law, and we saw series get interrupted and retooled while in production. Fortunately, Addicted, was completed prior. Sorry to be a downer, but watching those episodes just brought it home to me. I wish the actors of this current series success.

So true! I didn't make that connection.

Mike was originally cast to play Pisaeng. I don't have socials, so I'm not sure why Mike was replaced. I watched the old trailer via a reaction channel, and although I love Mike, Gawin is nailing Pisaeng.

I watched an interview where Gawin said he and Krist didn't know each other that well prior to working on this series. This is pure acting talent and chemistry between them. I hope they get very popular in Thailand so we can see them as a couple again.

Spoiler of book below.














The book has a happy ending, but I'm not sure if the series will change the ending.

I'm sad this is only 8 episodes. Even if episode 1 could not tell the difference between and aunt/uncle, niece/nephew. Waiting for Charn's breakthrough.

Yes, Stay with Me, and I haven't started it yet. They keep showing the child in all the thumbnails, making me think that is a way to reduce time spent on the gay relationship. I also thought the child was a boy in the book, but I could be wrong because I haven't read the book since the original series aired.

I'll be the sole fan and state that I love this series. It is like a soap opera from back in the day, especially with the overacting in the lakorn being shot in this story. I'm hoping that Ben will be playing a gray character in this series. I've seen Ben interviewed, and he seems to be a nice person, so I'm hoping that Kevin is an agitator.

The dude with the horrible wig.

This is becoming one of the shows I need to watch right away. I haven't even started the Addicted reboot, especially after seeing the child in so many thumbnails. I like the supernatural elements, and some of the zany characters. I also like the leads and think the actors are doing a great job.

Hopefully the people who do not understand this relationship trope have dropped it and moved on.

I like how Akira wants to try but is just a tempest in a teapot. I'm hoping that his incorrect assumptions next episode help him overcome his fears.

I didn't watch this one because I read the book, and the book was very slow, the MCs not getting together until the very end. Now this is in my YT recommends, so started watching with the fast forward button. Big let down is swapping Nadia from a trans/femme gay to a woman. The two lead actors are cute together, but fast forward "nadia's" story. They should have stuck to the book on the Nadia character.

This is so weird because when I click on Pepper's name, and Buddy Line Y Animal, it shows Chalam being played by Man, who played Em in Remember Me. Maybe they had cast changes. I don't follow anything on social media, so I can't keep up.
